Thought-provoking, Quirky, Confusing

See it if you like small, intimate productions of intimate plays, or you like costume drama, or Russian drama interests you.

Don't see it if you have trouble understanding actors with foreign accents in English, or you are easily bewildered by Chekovian absurdity. Read more

See it if enjoy little known foreign plays that inspired famous English ones. Canned music, but still loved the sound of Mozart piped thru a church.

Don't see it if Hard to like The Bear which felt slow and, at times, too soft spoken. Read more

Absorbing, Great staging, Great acting

See it if if you are not familiar with russian plays and want to see them brought to life. mozart and salieri really good acting especially salieri

Don't see it if you like slightly faster paced comedy;both plays well done but pacing in the BEAR play could have been a tad sharper/ acting was great
